Donald Trump's former butler investigated by Secret Service for 'racist threats' to President Obama

A former butler of Donald Trump, who no longer works for Mr Trump is now being investigated by the United States Secret Service for racist threats aimed at US President Barack Obama.

Anthony Senecal, 84, who worked as a butler for Trump for 17 years, until 2009, wrote in a recent Facebook post that Mr Obama should be shot by the military as an “enemy agent.”

“To all my friends on FB, just a short note to you on our pus headed “president” !!!! This character who I refer to as zero (0) should have been taken out by our military and shot as an enemy agent in his first term !! Instead he still remains in office doing every thing he can to gut the America we all know and love !" Mr Senecal said in a Facebook post. According to Mother Jones magazine.

It's not the first time he has made hateful remarks against the president.

Last April, he wrote that the US president should be hanged calling him a 'pri**'. 

“Looks like that sleezey b**tard zero (O) is trying to out maneuvre Congress again, if the truth be known this prick needs to be hung for treason!!!” he said.

The Secret Service confirmed to reporters it will investigate comments made by Donald Trump’s former butler calling for President Obama to be killed. 

“The US Secret Service is aware of this matter and will conduct the appropriate investigation,” Secret Service agency spokesman Robert Hoback said in a statement.
